The Cubs caught a bit of a break thanks to a hot spot on Jon Gray’s throwing hand, but I’d still like to see them come out strong against fill-in starter Peter Lambert. As we mentioned, Lambert has been struggling in the upper-minors after a really excellent showing at Double-A, but facing a guy for the first time can be tricky.

Thankfully, David Bote’s mighty bat is in the lineup again today, so the Cubs should be just fine. With the makeup win against the Angels on Monday, the Cubs have a three-game winning streak on the line right now. Let’s see them make it four. Go Cubs.
